Claude Levi-Strauss, Scientist 3rd Nov 2009
Claude Levi-Strauss’s run of six consecutive appearances on DeathList has finally come to an end with the passing of the 100 year old French anthropologist. While the DeathList Committee was naturally very impressed with Levi-Strauss’s work on the theories of structuralism, it was probably his age and the fact that he shared his name with a brand of jeans that led to his initial selection DeathList in 2002. In 2009, he was selected in fifth place and rewarded the committee’s perseverance. His death brings this year’s total to a respectable 12.
The DeathList 2009
Another year, another DeathList. The DeathList committee has been in session and drawn up a its list of 50 celebrities chosen for their likelihood to die in 2009. A quick recap of the unwritten rules: Candidates must have be famous in their own right such that their death is expected to be reported by the UK media, however candidates cannot be famous purely for the fact they are likely to die soon. A maximum of 25 candidates on the previous year’s list can reappear on the next year’s list. A fine performance from Deathlist 2008, with a record-equalling 14 deaths, makes expectations high for the 2009 list. The ongoing battle with medical science continues as it slowly but surely makes the challenge greater each year, but hopefully this is offset by the endless research of the forum members in combing the news sources of the world for nuggets of information on those who ready to claim a DeathList success as their final contribution to society.What people are discussing right now
